Pubovi širom Engleske i Walesa dobili su posebnu dozvolu da ostanu otvoreni do 5 ujutro u ponedjeljak, 6. srpnja 2026. godine, kako bi ugostili navijače koji gledaju Englesku Svjetsko prvenstvo u posljednjih 16 utakmica protiv Meksika.
Odluka je objavljena u četvrtak, 1. srpnja 2026. godine, nakon pritiska poslanika i predstavnika pivskog i pubskog sektora. U početku je vlada izjavila da neće produžiti radno vrijeme licenciranja dalje od trenutnih pravila, što je omogućilo pubovima da se otvore do 1 ujutro za utakmice koje počinju između 21 i 23 sata. Međutim, nakon rasprava u parlamentu, Starmer je promijenio svoj stav, navodeći važnost podrške navijačima tijekom velikog sportskog događaja.
Popis pubova koji sudjeluju uključuje nekoliko poznatih lanca kao što su Wetherspoons, Greene King i Fullers, zajedno s brojnim nezavisnim mjestima. Wetherspoons, koji posluje preko 800 pubova širom zemlje, potvrdio je da će pet njegovih lokacija ostati otvorenih do 5 ujutro.
Ostali lanci kao što su Boxpark, Youngs i Fuller, Smith & Turner također su se pridružili naporima, doprinoseći dodatnim mjestima na popis.
Nezavisni pivnici također su izrazili entuzijazam prema inicijativi. Mnogi su javno objavili svoju namjeru da zadrže svoja vrata otvorena, prepoznajući potencijal za povećanje prometa i prihoda tijekom utakmice. Neki od ovih pivnica uključuju Black Bull u Folkestonu, Blue Anchor u Aintreeju i Churchill u Pooleu.
Odluka je izazvala mješovite reakcije različitih dionika. Dok su mnogi u sektoru ugostiteljstva pohvalili potez, neki su izrazili zabrinutost zbog sigurnosti i potencijalnog povećanja incidenata povezanih s konzumiranjem alkohola i umorom na cesti.
Slično tome, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) savjetovao je poslodavce da u ponedjeljak postave jasne očekivanja u vezi s rasporedom rada, napominjući da, iako se može ponuditi neka fleksibilnost, nema pravne obveze za tvrtke da prilagode svoje politike za utakmicu.
Lokalne vlasti i policijske snage pripremaju se za potencijalne izazove, uključujući povećani promet i probleme javnog reda, osobito u područjima poznatih kao domaćini velikih okupljanja.
S visokim ulozima za Englesku, produženi satovi puba predstavljaju jedinstvenu mješavinu slavlja, trgovine i duha zajednice, označavajući značajan trenutak u tekućoj pokrivenosti Svjetskog prvenstva.

BBC News (UK)Državni / javniSredinaČinjenice 95Objektivnost 85jučerPubs in England and Wales will be allowed to remain open until 05:00 on Monday to accommodate fans watching England's World Cup match against Mexico, which starts at 01:00 UK time. The government initially resisted extending licensing hours beyond existing World Cup rules but reversed its stance after pressure, with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer stating the decision benefits both fans and pubs. Licensing hours were previously extended to 01:00 for matches starting between 17:00 and 22:00, but the new rule covers the late-night game. Business minister Kate Dearden had initially opposed the extension, but emergency legislation was introduced to allow pubs to stay open until the match ends. Concerns have been raised about road safety due to late-night drinking and hot weather increasing dehydration risks, prompting advice for drivers to avoid operating vehicles until fully rested and hydrated.
